Summer Essentials 2013

Summer Summer Summer.

So this summer your probably going to want to chill with friends, go to as many parties/clubs as you can and just have a great time.
So if your not bothered about choosing different outfits each time i'm hear to help.

The essentials:

1. Denim shorts.

Either high-waisted denim cut offs, which could go for about £10 or less at Brick Lane or Portobello Market. If your not into vintage Topshop, Asos, River Island and MissGuided.com supply a great variety of shorts.

2.Crop tops.

If you dare to bare that midriff this summer crop tops are a must, before branching off into patterned prints get the 3 basics: White, Black and Grey trust me you can not go wrong with these colours.

3. T-shirt Dresses.

T-shirt dresses are a god send, if your like me and would rather wear a bagby shirt than a bodycon dress this will be perfect. And they are ever so casual, just slip one on with some converses and your ready to go.

4.Flatforms.

Flatforms are not only a great modern trend but they also can be styled with everything, from a they can transform an outfit from a causal look to evening attire.

5. Bags.

I know this is a very vague statement but this summer, backpacks and shoulder bags are a must have. With back packs go for all black leather or denim look ones and as for shoulder bags the brighter the better.

6.Trainers/Sneakers

I think everyone should have a pair of comfortable trainers that they can wear with everything, be it Vans, Converses or Nikes. One pair is all you need to make a simple causal summer outfit.

Peter Pan Complex.

We have all had a period in our lives where we literally have tried to stop growing up. Lets face it the adult world is scary, it might aswell be a gaping black hole to another universe.

But the latest trends are taking a stance on growing up. I'm talking about a childhood revival.

Dungarees are an essential peice of clothing every 90s child needs. Its a great statement peice for summer as you can literally wear them with everything: the childs version of an LBD.
If your feeling nostalgic they come in cute patterns featuring childhood favorites:
Mickey Mouse
Winnie the Pooh
Bugs Bunny

Check out indie pop princess Marina and the Diamonds rocking the trend:

With a trend like this, the number one rule is too make an impact, for example accessories:
bright big bows
chunky bracelets and necklaces
& colourful headbands to make you look like a big kid.

And of course a great vintage or 1990s revival back pack is a must to complete the look. But if your not all that into backpacks i would recommend a bright coloured satchel, string bag or messenger bag.

For footwear, as grunge lover myself, i would wear worker boots, or Docs, however you can easily pull this look off with trainers. Nike blazers, vintage jordens or all leather converses.



The great thing about this trend is that the pieces are easily accessible you can find cheap one off pieces in vintage stores and charity shops or online in Asos Marketplace or eBay.

Happy Shopping
